Care Information

Site

Conservatory or heated greenhouse. Is best but will grow in a bright room.

Temperature

They love it warm!. Keep above 7 degrees Celsius over winter to keep it evergreen. Will take it down to about 2 and grow back the following spring.

Water

Water well in the growing season. Over winter we find it best to keep them on the dry side.

Feeding

Good compost is the key but a monthly feed with a high nitrogen food will give it a boost.

Tip

Pot it up when you can for fast and vigorous growth. A potbound plant will cope better over the winter though.

Papyrus is well known at least by name. Growing famously on the banks of the Nile it has had many many uses over the years, most famously in the production of paper (hence the name). It will grow to 2m+ in the right conditions! with its statuesque stems and delicate feathery heads this is one of the most remarked on plants here at the nursery. They are growing so quickly that the plants being sent out will be bigger than the one pictured!
